I love my Tamron 150-600 (Nikon mount,  otherwise you could try it out). It no doubt loses out a bit to the 'real' lenses,  but I don't think it is far behind.  What you lose you really gain back in weight (I can comfortably carry it around all day), usability  (the vibration reduction is quite amazing) and of course price (compared with the 'real' versions you get 90 or 95% of the performance for 10 or 20% of the price).

This is just my view of course, but I know others who produce amazing work with Tamrons and Sigmas (I'm looking at you,  Mr Shorty).

Good luck
Matthew

Hi to all the COG photographers.  I am thinking of getting a larger lens for my camera (Canon 7Dii).  

As much as I would love to, I don't think I will ever afford any of the BIG Canon lens, so I am wondering if anyone has experiences with the SIGMA or TAMRON offerings (150-600mm lens).

Regards
